President John Dramani Mahama will today, Monday, November 17, 2025, officially swear in Justice Paul Baffoe-Bonnie as Chief Justice, following Parliament’s approval of his nomination.
Justice Baffoe-Bonnie was nominated on September 23, 2025, with President Mahama citing his “wealth of experience and long service on the Bench”, having served at the High Court, Court of Appeal, and Supreme Court.

Appearing before the Appointments Committee on November 10, Justice Baffoe-Bonnie pledged an open-door, bipartisan leadership style, and reaffirmed his commitment to safeguarding judicial independence while improving access to justice for all Ghanaians.
Parliament approved his appointment on November 13, with 163 MPs voting in favour and 69 opposing, clearing the path for today’s swearing-in ceremony.
